“This market gained’t backside till we see capitulation.”
You’ll see a number of that within the coming days and weeks. I strongly agree and disagree with components of that sentiment.
Blackrock reported earnings this morning. Larry Fink mentioned, “We have now not seen any capitulation with any shoppers.” He’s not going to. When you’re on the lookout for long-term buyers to throw within the towel, you haven’t been paying consideration.
Within the 5 days main as much as (and together with) the huge rally on Thursday, $10 billion got here into VOO, 4x the conventional price. One other $19 billion rushed into SPY.
Eric Balchunas tweeted this astute remark on Thursday, when the S&P 500 had its tenth finest day ever:
Market timing won’t ever die bc people however man it took one on the chin immediately. I’ve to think about much more ppl simply joined Vanguard's 'not altering course no matter what i see or hear' camp. COVID rally did identical thing- which could possibly be why the inflows appear to get stronger with every new disaster.
Simply maintain shopping for isn’t simply the title of Nick’s ebook; it’s develop into the mantra for thousands and thousands of buyers. In the US, shopping for each dip has been rewarded for the final fifty years. It’ll take a very long time for that muscle reminiscence to fade. Don’t maintain your breath.
The Vanguardians of the Galaxy, as Balchunas calls them, won’t be deterred. They’ll simply maintain shopping for, come hell or excessive water.
However there’s one other group of dip consumers that does have to capitulate earlier than we see a sturdy backside. It’s the degens. They plowed $7 billion into levered lengthy ETFs within the 5 days main as much as the tariff-pause. They should chill.
For seven straight weeks they’ve plowed cash into ETFs that go up twice as a lot or extra as their underlying holdings. How for much longer will they proceed to the touch a burning range?

On the flip facet, speculators are additionally plowing cash into inverse ETFs, so the chart above solely tells half the story.
This subsequent one from Warren Pies exhibits that fifty% of all speculative ETF quantity (inverse and levered lengthy) has been in inverse ETFs. This chart is every week outdated, so I assume we’re method larger now. Warren says that readings of 60% have an ideal one-year ahead observe file. I’m guessing we’re already there.

Know who’s not capitulating, ever? Dividend buyers. Yeah, I get that they may not be probably the most tax-efficient method to generate revenue, however from a behavioral standpoint, they’re nice. Assuming the world doesn’t finish, and the dividends maintain hitting your account, buyers targeted on this technique usually tend to keep the course when the amount goes to 11. We spoke about that, and the entire craziness of the previous week, on the Compound & Associates with the nice Jenny Harrington.
